Miller provides a clear and comprehensible narrative, a coherent
and accurate synthesis, intended as a guide for students and the
general reader to an extremely complex period in British history.
His aim is to help readers avoid getting lost in a maze of detail
and rather to maintain a grasp of the big picture. Although the
English Civil War is usually seen, in England at least, as a
conflict between two sides, it involved the Scots, the Irish and
the army and the people of England, especially London. At some
points, events occurred and perspectives changed with such
disorienting rapidity that even those who lived through these
events were confused as to where they stood in relation to one
another. As the 1640s wore on, events unfolded in ways which the
participants had not expected and in many cases did not want.
Hindsight might suggest that everything led logically to the trial
and execution of the king, but these were in fact highly improbable
outcomes. Since the 1980s, a 'three kingdoms' approach has become
almost compulsory, but Miller's focus is unashamedly on England.
Events in Scotland and Ireland are covered only insofar as they had
an impact on events in England.
